Baxter Recycling Center in Fort Mill is a local spot for dropping off recyclables instead of sending them to the landfill. Neighbors with curbside overflow, DIY cleanups, or small loads from yard projects tend to use it most, and it’s the kind of place where people turn up with sorted bags and flattened boxes.
Expect a working-yard feel rather than a retail lot - big containers, concrete pads, and trucks coming and going. There’s typically a marked entrance and an attendant booth or checkpoint at similar centers, with lanes to pull up beside the bins. Most recycling centers accept the usual stuff: paper and cardboard, glass, metal cans, and many kinds of plastic; some also run periodic electronics or bulky-item programs. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busy, so plan for a short wait if arriving during peak times.

Before You Go
- Bring materials already sorted and cardboard flattened to save time unloading and to avoid unloading in front of other vehicles.
- Secure loose items in the truck bed or trunk so nothing blows out while driving; a tarp and bungee cords are handy.
- Try to come earlier in the day on weekends - lines thin out sooner rather than later and parking near the bins is easier.
